The purpose of chariots is to wipe out enemy cav, they're amazing at it. Most cavalry in the game will get steamrolled by the chariots Rhun has.
They are also really good in killing non spear generals in mele
How does that work, just a good charge bonus? Like wouldnt the chsriots get murderedby other cav as you cant knock them over? I know for example that in Rome 2 heavy cav is by far the best answer to chariots.
@@thehumanity3324 In Med2 they're considered elephants because there are no actual chariot models in the vanilla game, and elephants wreck cav. That's why it works like that.
@@thehumanity3324 I'm pretty sure it's specifically _because_ they don't knock down cavalry, and instead they just kill them outright. Chariots were exceptionally good against cavalry in Rome 1 as well.
@@thehumanity3324 If it's a scythed chariot, think about what those scythes will do to a horses legs.
honestly the most difficult part of this faction is getting to the southern most parts without Mordor taking them first.
I feel Galu should have talked about the Khand script when they choose to go loyal. I got bodied by 2 Khandish banner armies when all my troops were busy with Dorwinion, Dale and Erebor. Also: THE SOLDIERS FROM RHÛN HAVE JUST ARRIVED!
Thee easterlings are heere!
The DCI last alliance water does in fact look much better.
The thing is.. you’re not wrong ;)
Can we see the top ten spear and shields list.
Yay, finally a new rhun after like 2 years
My white hand > your white hand
@@trollwayy5981 Haha ^^
Hand of the hung
Far-rhûn mercs look great. This is still one of the best looking factions in the game. And I say as someone who is biased toward the elves and dunedain
Have you played them?
30:20 "In 4.5, mercenaries are broken, but they work well in v5." - great to hear, 2 years later with no version 5 out
It really is depressing.
Mercs seem to be working just fine for me in v4.6...
What we have is a miracle in itself, enjoy what we have.
I don't think we are going to get a v5 anytime soon
😂😂😂
I've been waiting for this one for ages! Awesome.
Now is the time for my Rhûn campaign. I fell in love with them when I set up a custom battle with their entire roster. A golden torrent of rage and flame.
Your content is amazing, as is the mod. There is really nothing like it. Massive respect to you and the rest of the team!
It's funny, you talk about how Rhun isn't really a nation of warriors but at 36:52 you can clearly see the description of the Dragon's Wrath Guildsmen how Rhun is a nation of warriors. A little dissonant haha.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing as he made that description. I think Galu was caught in between what counts as great in reference to Numenor and the Noldor and what counts in relation to common middle men. Because when it comes to middle men, rhûn is probably unmatched.
That's more flavor text than anything else tbh
Man the first thing as ruhn is to rush each army to the two southern khandish towns. They are huge money makers, and in a defensive battle your starting armies can take the garrisons without too much issue, plus it spawns the khandish general with units. Lest is usually the last place i take as dorwinion will bash their heads against its garrison for me and delay their taking of the rest of rhovannion
Honestly I’m glad that the faction leader no longer comes on a chariot; in my experience, he was always the first in his unit to die, and did so with worrying frequency even when targeted by weak archers
Great video! Rhun is the most stylish evil faction by far.
How about giving the Rhunic and Khandish elite chariots skirmish mode, or is that not possible because they count as elephants. Given the fact that they are at their best as ranged units against infantry that would make micromanaging them a lot easier. Javelins, the few AP archers and crossbows would still make them drop like flies, so I don't think they'd become that op.
It would be cool if Rhun gets some of the easterling units by conquering Dol Guldor .
I like your idea.
Wrote this in the suggestions on discord.
16:30
Me playing as rhun and being attacked by a dale-stack every 4 turns. Dale having one of the hardest to deal bodyguards units (ranged and anti cav). Dale having heavy halberds and good armored second tier units, dale having no other enemy than rhun (as long they dont border mirkwood). Erebor started to send full stacks after turn 35.
Dorwinion was much easier to deal with bc theiy are near the recruitment centers of rhun and after you have taken sant annui they are done for.
If it wasnt for dale the 1 would be justified.
Well, I still have beaten the crap out of dale. But I also over 1000 in med2tw so...
Heck yes! I started a game of Rhun not a couple weeks back and was curious about the Dragon Artifacts, so glad to see this update to the Faction Overview since 2.0
The opening text for Rhun has a spelling mistake instead of Their skirmishing skills it says They're. Also it feels odd to start the game and have CK2 music blasting lol
Galu i think you forgot the variag nobels they get from the khandish roster, they are really good too and should be used carefully also love Rhun's armor color and looks overall so majestic, stay safe my friend
pretty sure they will get their due in the khand video =]
@@darkpenguin7277 yeah you are right, just wanted ppl to know u get a general with variags from em
@@kamiaba5848 they are a great unit look fantastic
im love the look and feel of this faction but im struggling with the unit diversity... trying to make a golden army of pikes
Big shoutout to the modders for Third Age Total War for the job they did on Rhun. Rhun's roster has barely changed for DAC.
Most of the time when I start a new Rhun save , I get into a rumble with Dale before Dorwinion .
In my opinion all the Elite units need recoloring, unless the Mod team thinks Rhun was shitting gold bricks and they made all their armor full of gold. The ones that were shown in the movie marching to the Black Gate had a darker bronze metallic brown color and not this shiny bright gold.
Rohan! Yay! Love those horsemasters, although they are steamrollered in literally every campaign I play :D. Not sure what people are complaining about with the microphone, it sounds absolutely fine. Perhaps it's a problem at their end?
Udege Marine's are looking pretty fly. As is all of Rhun's roster to be honest.
Hey galu, i was playing the Rhunnic campaign on version 4.5 and i noticed something odd. The Lôke-scion Rim had a replenishing time of 2 turns at every city or castle but Sant Annui. I don't know of others might have the same expercience, but i though you should know! Love the vids!! Keep up the great work! After 2 years of playing it, it still can't bore me!!
Hey when i heard you talking about far harad mercenaries, i got an idea, ive been playing for years now on a LOTR minecraft modded server, and they have added far harad factions, called the taurethrim and the morwaith, besides the half trolls that is.
"Once a mighty empire that held all of Far Harad under its sway, the Taurethrim are but a shadow of their former selves. They dwell in the Far Harad Jungle, defending their homes from their sworn enemies, the Morwaith. In battle they wield deadly obsidian blades, and their hunters carry blowguns and poisoned darts." in other words theyre like native south americans.
"Though their crafts and way of life may seem primitive to the Men of the North, the Morwaith lead complex lives. Their chieftains are many, separated by great distance and divided by cultural differences. They have many strange rituals and traditions, including the ritual slaying of wild animals. They are strong warriors in battle, sometimes riding on zebras against their enemies, and wielding spears, clubs, axes, and daggers." The morwaith are more like native north americans but with more similarities to the tauretrim in general due to living in close proximity to each other.
Maybe a fun idea is to implement a far harad mercenary that are dark skinned blowgun soldiers that fire poisoned darts and use a small shield and a obsidian blade or axe in melee. making them a decent mid tier unit.
Its just an idea though.
you could send your suggestion in dac discord tho
@@lordoblivion8038 that would be a better option yeah haha, thnx
I miss the times when Loke Gamp Rim had halberds like in film
thanks, just listening to your voice removes all stress. not sure what that is :)
The general model is made for cavalry (cape is bended to fit the horse) looks a bit weird during battles
My favourite faction. Take Mattaram first. You win :)
The Daritai Crossbows are a really good early unit by the looks of it, with the 6 missile attack.
They are pretty useful, but remember that crossbow attack =/= bow attack. It is kind of the opposite of the pike animation. The slow rate of fire and the very flat trajectory required (firing crossbows in an arc is horribly ineffective in Med II) mean that they probably have an effective ranged attack equal to half their actual stat for the purposes of comparison. I don't think they are markedly more dangerous than the Daritai Hunters, although there is a bit more of a low floor-high ceiling effect with them.
@@boosterh1113 It's misleading and inaccurate to say that their ranged damage is halved. They have different quirks to them that once you understand you can exploit just like with the pikes who likewise definitely do not have three times the standard damage.
beware Khand's Blue Wizard stacks.
The audio sounds great galu, def an improvement!
I see you do this in every faction difficulty rating : x faction will not attack you because its at war with y and they keep their attention etc. Its always the case that if a faction is your enemy and its bordering you it will fuck you up as much as it can, it will even get out of its way and do stupid things to attack you.
I have legit seen first hand, Gondor while i was playing with Isengard come from the rear while transpassing their enemies enedwaith territory just to attack me and we were neutral! Or Goblins attacking me as bree and we werent even shared a border, while they had only misty mountain regions and ost-in-edhil
What i mean is that argument is not valid at all and you shouldnt use it to make a faction seem easier. Rhun is actually quite harder than you believe it is, and not for the reasons someone new will think. VH/VH (no cheats, NO CHEATS) you struggle to get to some regions before AI does including Mordor taking your script regions, Dorwinion expading like crazy, and you having the constant threat of weird ass Dale bringing a stack or two right next you your borders without declaring war but forcing you to keep a backup army just in case them or Erebor do the first move. You are usually way too stretched with Rhun and the general lack of Castles in their regions is something that isnt helping at all. Not to mention that if Khand turns good they will legit send their 2 doomstacks straight for Mattaram casually forgeting their capital was just sacked. Even mordor from time to time likes to attack you.
Rhun is easily a 3 (coming from a seasoned veteran), and even rushing your "main" enemy Dorwinion is not a guaranted park walk afterwards like with other nations. Ive won GOOD Khand campaigns easier than i did with rhun, ive destroyed AA with Dol Amroth turn 8 and killed harad before barracks events just to give some examples, but still Rhun is giving me a headache every time i play. The unpredictability of the nearby and bordering factions is what makes it harder that it seems.
See you have said that and then only a few comments down (chronologically) I have someone say that Rhun is such a doddle and 1 is totally right.
Who am I to believe?
@ To simply "win" is rather easy if you stay on Mordors side. However, it's basically impossible now to get Varfest before Mordor does (I tried with LegendofTotalWar levels of cheese and couldn't do it), and if you don't go for the western regions (former rebels) of Dorwinion, Mordor will get those aswell. Dale is swarming the Sea of Rhun at Turn 40-45, with way more numbers than they had before (Dale defeats Rhun frequently now if you're not involved).
At the start of the campaign, you'll go bankrupt after like 2-3 turns, and if you're going to capture as many rebel settlements as possible, you won't get out of debt before turn 20-25, which means you can't build up your economy and you are immediately behind the AI. This has a massive effect in the long run. Additionally, many people simply do not like playing with negative money or can't handle it properly. I have played Rhun multiple times in every single version of the mod and it has never been more difficult than it is now. I like that btw, but I strongly disagree with the 1 rating.
If you're good at the game and everything feels kinda easy doesn't mean every faction is a 1 on the difficulty scale. Those people don't know how to rate factions relatively to each other on a scale.
If the rating is based on how strong of a position you have to basically stand alone in your area of the map against the nearest factions, Rhun is a 3.
@ Quite frankly you're terrible at rating difficulty. I say this as someone who loves what you've done with the submod.
@ honestly neither of us, the best way is to play a short campaign for 50-60 turns to get the feeling of the faction (no need for uploading or streaming it as it is much more tedious and time consuming). I just suggested that this argument that you use is not valid because the engine of the game is such that the moment you border another faction a lot of things change. The rating could still be a 1, but 1 is reserved for evil khand, mordor, high elves, good ered luin maybe some others too while 5 is for good khand, evil ered luin, maybe DA and ND the rest should fall in the middle usually. @Jamaly above made a very good comment which i agree to a 100% and shows that he too has played Rhun recently those things he mentions are legit.
I agree Rhun is quite difficult, and I religiously play as enedwaith and I defeat Dunland and completely cripple Isengard before the barracks event kicks in. As Rhun at turn 80 I believe ive only just managed to take the first three dorwinion provinces and the castle on the northern beach of the sea. Dale completely bum rushed me with a full stack and the economy at the beginning is just terrible. Once you've started making decent money and it finally becomes the doddle you have described but the early game can be extremely brutal.
Those Far Rhun Mercenaries remind me a lot of the Variags from Last Days of the Third Age of Middle Earth.
Is it just me, or is the audio really quiet for this video?
Probably because of the changes to the mircophone. You might want to increase the volume a bit for the next video :)
Yeah, I came here to say the same thing. 20% more volume or so.
@@ilari90 Same here. I'd say +20% would be about right.
Please add Lord of,Master of,Mayor of,Warden of etc. titles for all settlements like SS , it gaves much more enthusiasm when playing.For example one of my Lindon campaign,Imladris has fallen and I captured it with my heir but he didnot claim "lord of imladris" title. That was discouraging.
Have you thought about splitting Blue wizards between Rhun and Khand? One for each
I’m in the middle of my rhun campaign and I basically got saved by Mordor 😂. I wasn’t losing any of my territory I just was very outnumbered by dorwinion who swallowed up all of rhovanion so they had roughly 10 or 11 settlements at their peak and I at the time had 5. However Mordor also kinda took all my land so know I’m wondering if I’m going to be able to reach my territory requirements. It’s been a fun campaign tho!
Just going to say, Rhun may be a 1 normally, but I really feel like it spikes up to around a 3 or 4 minimum if Khand goes with the Blue Wizards. After that, not only did I suddenly have to worry about that border being filled with Dwarves w/ Horse Archers, Erebor and Dale started picking at my borders, Mordor was broken by Gondor because their backline was devastated by Khand, Harad got crippled as well, and I still had Dorwinion to deal with. Rohan has been patrolling the borders too. I was left single handedly trying to fight everyone in the West, plus Gondor.
I'm in the middle of Rhun campaign, and my Arulad general spawned with the Dragonguard (inf) as bodyguard, instead of Dragonriders (cav).
Yes.
Khand and the Haradrim should start in a single settlement like Rhun and the challenge of all three campaigns should be to unite all of the tribes into one grand army of the east.
Harad do start in a single settlement.
Thanks for an informative video! Is there a chance you will explain the Dragon Cult in the Rhun lore video?
"NOT to be pronounced rhûn ... but im not gonna tell you Not too" 😂
Wonder if possible for next update to give Loke Khan Rhukar could have his own unique unit. Maybe not chariots as you said they are over powered but what about the Udege marines but maybe with a upgraded look of the elites and also better stats
Lindybeige has a video on the practical use of fire arrows.
from a military perspective they would've definitly been used just not to damage anything they would've been used like tracer rounds if you cant see where your arrows are landing you can't zero in
Sam Guevenne no that wouldn’t work, even as a zeroing in tool
@@Sam_Guevenne I don't think the idea of fire arrows as tracers would work practically. We do know from records that they ere used. However, when I have read historical accounts of their use (ages ago now so can't remember specifically where, I know one was Roman) it was during sieges. Which makes sense as that's one of the few times when you could reasonably expect to get something set up for lighting that number of arrows. Along with the obvious impact that their use would cause.
Beautiful designs
But how did the men of Rhun survive being stomped by Rhovanion at the end of the second age? :O
my favorite faction
Does anyone know if you can get 2nd tier and up Khand units as Rhun? I saw in custom battles you can use them when you set the time period to ‘All’ just wondering if you can get them in the campaign too after to conquer Khand or something like that :)
I haven't watched whole episode yet but I do really hope Lothlorien is gonna be next since the last overview of it was for v2.2 :(
Helo from Brazil my friend now i know what faction has a Brazilian theme
Huh, the unify tribes thing is a lot like the Welsh script in the Britain campaign. Free armies and troops after conquering certain regions.
Rhun is the Golden Horde
Isn't Khand a nomadic culture or am i getting it wrong?
Yeah, I think they have their own culture since Eriador Rises patch.
It's only the case if Khand chooses to join the Free People instead of Sauron, if I'm not mistaken.
I think they are men of the east at the very beginning and can flip Nomadic when sided with Blue Wizards. Or was it changed?
That's part of the script from what i remember. If you join blue wizards your culture will change.
It's nomadic if they side with the blue wizards, otherwise is men of the east. If I'm not mistaken.
I am so sad to see that Rhun lost their flamethrowers.
They never had flamethrowers. That is a different mod.
@ Oh that was MoS? Well.... Can Rhun get flamethrowers?
Hello Arachir, I was was wanting to jump back into DaC but overall I seem to have one and only one problem with it, as I remember.
I want there to be brutal difficulty, against the odds invasions, really large battles and challenging economy management. I want to face overwhelming stacks of the enemy and fight on the very brink of annihilation. Can I find that in DaC lategame? I always seemed to stop playing at some point thinking my expectations in that regard would not be met.
Playing with the Dunedain, I always found I could annihilate anything with my rangers quite easily, but then again I never got far enough.
Otherwise this is a stunning work of art that brings to life Middle Earth on the campaign map. I had always appreciated it deeply.
Can somebody reassure me or let me in on how the lategame is? Thank you.
Don't conquer very much in the early game as any faction and late game will be REALLY hard. If you blitz the map early tho most factions will be easy later
@@Paulsinke Hmm, thank you!
Wow, I'm early today
Can you give the loke-gamp rim the halberd-pike mixed with shields in hand instead of have just the pike, reason being it will look awesome, look at lotr bfme 2 rotwk age of the ring mod and look at the upgraded easterling phalanx.
Anyone else having a really hard time playing Rhun? I keep finding myself stretched too thin to defend anything properly with Dale, Erebor, and Dorwinion pushing my north and western flanks, and Khand sending stacks from the south. How are you supposed to defend against that? None of them will even bother with diplomacy no matter what I offer them either.
Maybe I'm just super unlucky, but 9/10 of my playthrough attempts as Rhun, Khand sides with good and sends doomstacks straight up to me. Dale builds up 2 stacks right on my border to the north and attacks the same turn that Dorwinion does, and Erebor keeps sending units throughout all of this. Dale, Dorwinion, and Erebor tend to not have any other enemies other than me so it's just a constant barrage of fullstacks destroying everything I have.
you have to play the diplomacy game. try get peace with Khand and try get Dale, Erebor and Dorwinion to fight each other or have some of them become your allies
Abdüs "died tragically" in 2984 according to my family tree :(
i never even got a message that he died (or came of age)
anyone know why this happened? (personally I blame Dale and when the time is right, Mordor)
Chariots are, in practice, most useful as anti-cav units.
Oh wow celeborns unit looks almost as good as elronds unit but double the size
i dont understand why general bodyguards are not cavalry
I may be too late, but it's simply due to the fact that a self replenishing heavy cav unit is insanely strong, especially early on and it's easy to exploit it to make your campaign battles very easy. There's a few cav generals left in the mod, namely Dol Amroth and Rohan, and even though their units are insanely small (10-20 men) they are insanely good still.
Tl;dr Auto replenishing heavy cav is too good in the hands of the player
Just edit the code if you're that concerned?
Do merchants work the same in DaC as they do in the base game? As Dale, I've put a merchant over an iron mine (that for some reason is worth 3x as much as a gold mine) and it's been about 10 turns but nothing is listed yet under merchant trade in my financial report. Is it listed somewhere else, or do I need to do something different with the merchant?
Do you make every faction review for each version or patch update?
Hi Galu! If you’ve got a moment, I would love to know something about the statistics used in DAC. Does it use the same system as original TATW? Taking the Snaga Stalkers as an example, in TATW they have a defence of 5, but in DAC it is only 2. At the other end of the spectrum, in TATW the strongest unit is the Guards of Khazad-Dum, with a defence of 26, whereas in DAC, an elite unit such as the Smiths of Eregion have a defence of 42. Does this mean that in DAC, the worst units are worse and the best units are better? Or is it a different system, where a 5 in TATW equates to a 2 in DAC?
Not a very important question, but still it’s been bugging me for ages 😂
Also, sorry if I’ve used too many commas.
2 years too late, the answer is yes
Just looked at the top 10 cavalry video, on the By Jove Innas Rim, they were number 9. and you said" by joe are they poorer then i thought"
"By jove"
@ Ah, thank you . Its rare to hear that said across the pond.
@@LordWarious It came from a time when people did not want to say "by God" as that is blasphemous (depending n who you ask). Jove is an alternative name of Jupiter/Zeus so people used that. :)
top 10 guardian unit
Why do we triple the damage for pikes?
The Loke Scion Rim has a really high replenishment rate in my 4.5 campaign, I seem to be able to recruit them pretty much every turn nonstop. Perhaps it's intentional?
Bug. Fixed.
I really like this mod and I'd love to play it Hotseat with some friends, but it doesnt work. After the first turn a random battle appears between and the cursor becomes the loading ring. Can you help me out? Have you heard of this issue? We would be so extremly thankful for any help!
What is the lore behind the daritaï clansmen ?
Hey Galu,
Could you do a Rhun gameplay? I fear that you underestimate the difficulty of the Rhun Campaign.
So what is Rhun based on? Dorwinion is Saxon?? Khand is Mongolian or Rus, Harad is North African it seems, Umbar is... I don’t even know, and Rhûn? Japan or Persia or what?
Do sth with Khand they are not doing anything when played by AI, just amassing forces near capital.
U just giving every faction 1 or 2 in difficulty. MedTW-2 is generally not hard I agree but D&C is not easy at all, you have increased the difficulty. So when you play VH/VH(which mostly we do); Rhun is not "1" in difficulty. I think difficulty needs to be ranged from 1to5 relative to faction in the game. Otherwise many faction is only "1" and there is no "5". IMHO only Ered Luin and Khan is "1" in difficulty and Dol Amroth is "5" for example.
You should just ignore his ratings if he hasn't played the faction in the current release :P
It's a 3-4. Certainly much harder than Dorwinion. Also Dale is on steroids in v4.5 for some reason. The bankrupt start is the main challenge imo though.
@Jeffrey Epstein My friend (who plays at a medium level I'd say) couldn't take Lest with his starting forces combined and he couldn't take Elgaer or Mattaram when he split his starting forces. Garrisons are too strong and the towers are deadly. Of course he could do it when starving them out but you do not have that time with Rhun now.
So yeah, the starting army is costly but still not good enough. To make this a 1 difficulty, the Kings Purse of Rhun would have to be tripled so you could recruit enough additional forces and/or build up some economy without losing 2,5-3k a turn.
Would be awesome if you could recruit dragons as mercenaries in Withered Heath
Khand has a nomad culture galu, right ?
Only if they side with the Istari.
How many factions left?
From checking playlist:
Mordor
Isengard
Lothlorien
Khand
Rohan
Dunland
So 6 in total. Please correct me if i get it wrong
Seriously, are any factions a 5 difficulty-wise?
Galu talked about screwing the pooch on rating Dol Amroth a three and revised it to a 5.
Do lothlorien please
Okay, I have to ask: why did you change the film-style halberds to spears? Seems such an unnecessary (and disappointing) design choice.
My guess is it made sense since they changed them from halberdiers to pikes. I dont like the change either, but I understand why they did it
8:30. I know why! It's old code from Rome 1 total war. See, in Rome 1 the building was available only to Parthia and Armenia. These were both naturally poor nations (no sea trade, and only tier 1 roads, and few/poor resources in their territory). However they were the far east factions, the maps last stop on the silk road to India/china. So the unique buildings were to represent them pulling in these rare valuable resources.
The voice is quite silent.
Hey Galu. Merchants dont work. At least for me it didnt work. Send him to ALL resources and everyone gives 0 gold. 0 gold bro. Even looked at the mitrhill and it still didnt do shit. Can u please see this and know that merchant didnt work for me?
Understood bro. That's whack bro.
@ 🤣
@ :DDDD U made the best medieval 2 mod! So wtf a few bugs are always ok! And oyu are just the best youtuber man... To think a dope dealer would look at galu videos XD
@@TheRealThracianKing To give you a real response, you are the first person to report that merchants give you no gold.
The only thing I can think to advise is that merchanst don't give gold much gold (if any at all) on resources close to your empire or on resources you already have ownership of in one of your regions. Merchants work best very far away from your heartland.
If your merchant is giving 0 gold despite all that, it is almost certainly a problem with the game and not the mod as we haven't edited merchants, we simply turned them back on. I would search the internet if I were you.
@ alright well Im sure that it didnt work in any single case no matter where so yeah whatever bro :D Its just a merchant
I wish the Easterlings had more interesting units the lack of shields and halberds is kind of annoying to me i hate the dual wielding swordsmen cuz its cringe and doesnt really suit rhun to have some assassins with two blades instead of giving them swords and shields and halberds for those beautiful golden spiked armor sets they love to wear
Really like the roster and the new scripts but unfortunately the campaign is such a dodle because (like Galu rightfully said) you really have no real enemies after Dorwinion. Does anyone have any ideas to spice up their campaign?
I think you should play the current version first. No mention of Dale, really? They are the main enemy now, not Dorwinion. Imo anyway. I was actually amazed by how much more difficult it is now since I've played Rhun multiple times in every version of the mod and it has always been a doddle and now it is at least mildly challenging for a veteran (mainly talking about the start).
I assume here that you do not use LegendofTotalWar levels of cheese like the sally-out exploit to rush Dorwinion and facilitate taking rebel settlements, cause then it would be pointless to discuss the difficulty anyway.
You can always spice up your campaigns by declaring war on everyone at the barracks event or even earlier, that's what I usually do, cause it is damn good fun and why the hell not. No script needed. A very good player will never be challenged when you only fight 1 or even 2 opponents in this game. Since this mod is basically good vs evil and you're joining either side, you can easily tip the balance in favour of your side and just chill towards the victory. However, my less skilled friends will probably stop playing this mod if they make it any harder cause they often end up in similar situations like Galu in his Dol Amroth campaign.
@@jamaly77 I found the early game of rhun to be tiring in DACv4 because you take at least 50 turns to unite the damn clans and while Dorwinion and Dale start with much more settlements. Fortunately Mordor was there to help me and past the unification of clans it was quite easy.
I played with the Ar Adunaim in the new versions and Dale bodied both Dol Guldur and Rhûn it was crazy, Mordor never helped those factions and even got crushed by Gondor because they were not helped by Harad or me (I attacked Harad) while Khand chose the good side.
I am not the super veteran player and I don't do cheese tactics either, should I nerf the royal purse of Dale or just buff Dol Guldur and Gundabad ?
I feel that no matter what you do to help the bad factions they always get swarmed by the good factions, they have too many ennemies except for Isengard, Harad and Ar-Adunaim.
I am disappointed about the dragon relics I would appreciate a Dragons General - Or Dragon Units // Young Dragons - Plate Dragon
Wow, no views. Sorry Galu, guess people really don't like Rhun
That’s just disrespectful ;) jkjk
It seems to me as you've made the rhuns relatively weak, which is a shame as they are in my opinion the coolest faction in Middle Earth. Also their armour isn't golden in the movie.....................
What I really don't like about some of your faction overviews is that you tend to speculate what the enemy Ai does or how difficult the faction is even though you clearly never played that faction. First of all Rhun is nowhere near a 1 in difficulty. It may have been before but now it is more of a 4. Having to conquer all of your lands from rebels with hugh garrisons takes dozens of turns and will put you in massive debt. You have to beat Mordor, Dale and Dorwinion to it since they will grab those regions if you are not quick enough. Dorwinion and Dale will relativly quickly move huge stacks through your lands while you are still trying to conquer your regions and pay your debt back to able to actually build/train anything. And Erebor will also attack you really early. It will take up to 50 turns to reach a somewhat stable position from where you start building up your economy. Imo that reunification script is super annoying. Having to spend a couple of hours racing with the AI to capture your settlements while praying that they won't attack in the first 40 turns or you will have to start over.
I stopped rating them.
love this mod but fighting every single Elvish card to the death is getting old fast. I just charged maybe 60 archers with about 95 Loke Innas Rim and it was one of the most absurd unit interactions I've ever seen in a TW game. half of them were killed. half. against understrength archers in melee. "one of the best cavalry units in the game." No. Just... no.
This game is impossible, man. I mean, I love it. But it seriously is impossible. Was playing with Woodland Realm at mid (!) difficulty and got my ass kicked. Isengard got so OP in such little time, then I typed in some cheats and then Mordor called invasion on me and now every Orc faction wants to kill me. So I typed more cheats to get units. I am literally adding units to top before every single fight and Isengard still somehow has more army and more money than me, lol. Dark Souls is piss easy compared to this.
the barrack event should be removed, it makes slows the game and kinda boring beacuse you can't get a new units in a very long time.
It has been removed for V5.
@ oh that's a good news. thank you for your answer
